One man hurt in ATV accident

One man was injured Christmas night while riding an all-terrain vehicle near Fauntleroy Park in West Seattle, police reported.

Police were called at 11:35 p.m. to the 4000 block of Southwest Barton Street, where the 41-year-old victim was lying unconscious near the ATV. The man was driving west on Barton Street when a witness heard a loud noise, spokeswoman Renee Witt said.

The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center where he was treated for fractured bones in his face, Witt said.

A second ATV pulled up while police were investigating and the rider told officers that the two men were driving around the neighborhood. Officers smelled a “strong odor ” of alcohol on both men’s breath, she said.

The victim was cited for drunken driving, negligent driving and a helmet law violation, police said.
